The splendid lecture of Gen. George A.
Sheridan in reply to Bob Ingersoll will be re-
membered by all who had the pleasure and
profit of hearing it last year in the Grand
Opera house in this city. AS the General
said, the lecture was then a new one, and he
was merely licking it into shape by few
preliminary deliveries, for future use. Wher-
ever it was given it took the public by storm,
and whetted their appetite for another hear
ing. General Sheridan is about to start upon
a regular tour this season, with his lecture
finished and FURNISHED, and we hope that In
dianapolis will be placed upon his date book
for early visit. We can commend the
General and his lecture to all lyceum COM
mittees and lecture associations this fall and
winter. They will do themselves good turn
and the public they serve the greatest posi-
BILE favor by securing the delivery of the
Generals reply to Ingersoll. 1t is a lecture
that should have the widest possible hearing
No one can listen to it without an added
respect for the Bible and better and broader
idea of the Christianity it teaches and

THE difference between Republican and
Democratic methods is strikingly illustrated
by the contrast between the financial situa-
ton of twenty-five years ago and that Of to-
day. In 1861, when the Republican party
came into power, they found the national
Treasury empty and the government COM
PEELED to borrow money at II per cent per
annum to meet the necessary expenses of
the government. This high rate of interest
indicated the low point to which the govern
ment credit had sunk under Democratic rule.
When the Democratic party returned to
power they found an overlooking treasury,
and to-day they are trying to reduce the
surplus by purchasing government bonds at
20 per cent. premium. In 1861 the govern
ment had to borrow money at - per cent.
interest; to-day, it is offering % per cent.
premium for it's own bonds and holders are
not anxious to SELL The empty treasury and
low government credit in 1861 were the
result of Democratic rule, as the full treasury
and high credit of the government to-day,
are the result of Republican rule.

THE central executive committee of the
Union Labor party in Cincinnati have set an
example worthy of imitation by labor organi-
cations everywhere A request from the So
calists that they would intercede in behalf of
the Chicago Anarchists put to vote and
refused by large majority. Cincinnati is a
conservative city, and it's workingmen are
law-abidng citizens. Anarchism has not
found much of foot-hold there nor a con-
genial soil for development. The Union
Labor party embraces the real workingmen of
the city, and is numerically strong The re-
fusal of their executive committee to inter
cede in behalf of the condemned Anarchists
may be taken as the action of the party, and as
such it will be approved by the friends of law
and order everywhere. 1t is the position that
should be taken by every labor organization
to which the question is presented. There is
no common ground of sympathy between hon
est workingmen and Anarchists under any
circumstances, much less with Anarchists con-
victed of murder. The Chicago Anarchists
have been tried and convicted of conspiracy to
murder and of completely in one OF the most
atrocious crimes on record. Why should any
labor organization sympathise with them
more than any other criminals It is an in
suit to honest workingmen to ask them to do
so. The action of the Cincinnati committee
shows that they have too much good sense
and self-respect to put themselves in the posi-
ton of trying TO prevent the enforcement of
law and the punishment of crime. We believe
if it comes to show Of hands that an over
whelming majority of workingmen will be
found of the opinion. The clamor that
is being raised by comparatively small num-
Der of mischievious agitators in few cities
does not represent the sentiments of the hon
est workingmen of America.

THE city election will take place two weeks
from next Tuesday. Occurring by itself and
apart from any other, the issues and interests
involved should receive thorough and careful
consideration from the people who are to pass
upon them. These issues and interests per-
tain very closely to the welfare, prosperity
and honor of the city. They do not pertain
to national nor State affairs except as the ques-
ton of good government in every community
so pertains, nor do they belong to party poll
tics in the ordinary sense. They are such
that if rightly understood and appreciated
there would seem to be no ground for differ
ence of opinion among honest men in regard
to them. Party leaders and managers have
done something to shape the issues, but cir
cumstances have done more. They have in
measure shaped themselves. The vital issue,
involving all others, is that of law and order
against lawlessness and crime-whether the
city shall be held on the line and in the way
of good government or turned over to the rule
and ruin management of the Coy gang. There
is no Disgusting the fact that the Democratic
party organization in this city represents Coy
ism. He controls the machine, and is work
ing first for personal vindication and second
to control the city government. His triumph
will be the triumph of the citys worst ele-
ments. He is endeavoring to establish here
a ring rule similar to that of Mike Mcdonald
in Chicago, under which, by the aid of the
saloon vote and the criminal classes he can
levy tribute on every branch of the city gov
eminent. With his man Edenharter for
Mayor and with a majority in the Council to
do his bidding, the city would be at his mercy.
1t is for the voters of Indianapolis to decide
whether this shall be SO. This is not ques-
ton of Republican or Democratic party rule
in any ordinary sense. For honest men and
the friends of law and order it is question of
asserting their power or submitting to a
species of ring rule only less humiliating and
CALLING than slavery itself. The people have
two weeks in which to consider and decide
whether this man Coy shall be practically
clothed with the political dictatorship of the
city.

Barb-xyire Mills Burned.

CHICAGO. Sept. pa Joliet. Ill.,. special says:
The large bar wire mill owned by Fish s. Con-
nell, and known the Enterprise company,
caught fire from sparks in the blacksmith shop
last night, and vas destroyed except the out
side walls which are still standing. The firm
employed fifty men, and had thirty-fve wire
machines in the building, together with several
r-loads of stored wire, all of which will be
ruined also their large Corlss engine and boiler.
About ten fifteen car loads of wire in the gal
vanizine department adjoining the main building
was saved. The building was of stone and three
stories high. The upper floor stored with
machinery for making horse rakes. and the two
other stories were used for the manufacture Of
wire. The firm have another large building ad-
joining the burned. nearly completed, in
which they were going to draw wire. This was
saved. The total loss is from s22 600 to $25 600;
fully covered by insurance As there is $50, 900
insurance on the whole plant, the firm will re-
build at once
